Re: Trying to make Junky perhaps just a little bit Funky...

Okay, where did I leave off...

Got the frame welded where the bumper attaches. It was some trial and error, but got it done. It really takes a bit to get used to welding metal this thick. Not pretty, but it pretty enough and no one will see it.





Discovered my gas tank is crap...


Got the support brace bolted in. Plan on leaving the bolts and adding some welds.


Took the rear windshield off. This was a mistake as Ignorance is Bliss.


Now those of you that have gotten to know me would probably expect me to do several things at this point (well you might not know all of them):

1. Stare at it for an hour pondering what to do or maybe hoping it fixes itself.
2. Go online and do research on fixing it.
3. Be annoyed with it and ignore it for as long as possible.

Well, I did #1 for about 20 minutes, and I did #2 on my phone for about 5 minutes. After reading what I just wrote it sounds all kinds of wrong, but I'm leaving it written as-is.

Here are some closer pics:



Instead of following items 1-3 listed above, I took a crack at fixing it myself. I think this came out pretty well. Forgot to take a before picture.


I started working on another part of it, then my ass-hat neighbor pissed me off and I couldn't concentrate, so I'll get back to this tomorrow.
